Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease in industrialised countries with a prevalence of about 5 % in the general population aged greater than 75 years. During the past decade, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valuable, minimally invasive treatment option for patients presenting with symptomatic severe AS, who due to their advanced age and… View more

Use of Electrophysiological Studies in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Author(s): Oholi Tovia-Brodie , Yoav Michowitz , Bernard Belhassen Added: 3 years ago
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard therapy in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis and an intermediate or high surgical risk.1,2 Recent promising reports suggest that it will also become standard therapy in low-risk patients.3,4 New conduction disturbances following the procedure requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) have been well… View more

Ultrasound-guided Axillary Vein Puncture in Cardiac Lead Implantation: Time to Move to a New Standard Access?
Author(s): Ana Paula Tagliari , Adriano Nunes Kochi , Bernardo Mastella , et al Added: 3 years ago
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), ICD and CRT devices, are the mainstream therapy for many potentially lethal heart conditions, such as advanced atrioventricular block or sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. CIEDs can be implanted through endovascular or epicardial routes, with the former used the most because it is less invasive… View more

Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy is effective and safe. However, infections related to CIED treatment may have devastating consequences, causing significant morbidity, mortality and generating considerable healthcare costs.1–6 Temporal trends in CIED treatment indicate a disproportional increase in CIED infections relative to implantation rates.1,7,8 Reasons for this trend are… View more

The implantation of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-D [with defibrillator] and CRT-P [with pacemaker]) devices are lifesaving procedures, and the expanding indications for device use have led to a marked increase in implantation procedures in… View more

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infection in Patients at Risk
Author(s): Khaldoun G Tarakji , Christopher R Ellis , Pascal Defaye , et al Added: 3 years ago
Over the last few decades an increasing body of evidence has supported the role of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) including permanent pacemakers (PPMs), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-D [with defibrillator] and CRT-P [without defibrillator]) in improving quality of life and survival.1 In addition, there has been a… View more
